Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner

so far I'm slow at blogging

Don't know if that fares well for my performance. No just kidding. I'm very excited to get started too. My goals:

1. One of my biggest goals right now is to quit smoking. Not that I was a pack-a-day person by any far stretch, but I'm tired of doing it at all anymore. So I'm on my 6th day without a cigarette and I really think getting back into running will help with that.

2. I'm not going to overcommit to five times a week because I know myself and that will just be setting me up for failure. I would like to commit to 2-3 times a week. I would also like to start doing yoga again in conjunction with the cardio of running.

3. I too want to run the River City Roots 5K in September and get a sweet t-shirt.

4. I am also not buying any, ANY new clothes until I've been smokefree and running at least twice a week for a month.

5. World peace.

Minus the last one, I don't think my goals are too lofty. This is going to be superfun. Thanks, Joan!

Great goals Q. We can go shopping together...I need back to school clothes. I look forward to running the 5k with you.

The yoga is a great idea. Runners sometimes forget about their core muscles and yoga is a fantastic way to take care of that.

Glad your here.
